In 2005 it occurred to me that this site could use a basic resource breaking down all things comics-related by metropolitan area -- kind of a first stop on who to contact if you were planning to relocate, or where to go if you were planning a visit, or who to invite if you were having a show, or who you might profile if you were writing a feature article.

This list in progress is the result. Creative people make up the bulk but not the entirety of the people list. Comic shops make up the bulk but not the entirety of the institutions list.

It was updated in January 2007 and in February 2008.

If you can be added to a community,

If you know someone who can be added to a community,

If you know someone who is definitely no longer part of a community but is listed as such,

If you know of an institution that should be added to the list below,

If you know of a community of three or more people and institutions to add,

If you know of changes or additions that need to be made in existing entries,

Basically, anything you can help me do to build on the following, I would greatly appreciate it and I think this will be a valuable resource for years to come.

* = Not in the city proper but close enough that were Scott McCloud, Art Spiegelman or Neil Gaiman scheduled to come and speak they would consider going.

please note: the Rick Altergott art at top is totally being used in inappropriate fashion by me, without securing permission first, and if anyone objects, I'll take it down and apologize. I came across it noodling around and couldn't resist. You should really own the object where it's from: Private Stash, by Buenaventura Press.
